Isn't this the kit that the modular section of the turboforums.com is in heat about particularly about Chinese metal quality ect.?
I wonder if you need coil overs etc, or if just switching to a tubular K member is enough? I dont want to mess with my front suspension. I like what I have already.
It definitely seems interesting... they might even consider a group purchase at an even lower price... I wish we could get a review from someone whos installed one.

People were saying that the hotside would just crack apartNot sure why that would be an issue? Chinese steel is usually of a higher grade/quality than the US Steel.

Correct, I didn't mean to insinuate that Chinese = fail. Rather that it's insanely cheap to get sub-par Chinese 304 SS used for turbo headers and hot sides from China - and this would be a case of that. I can find the thread for ya.I see, so its just a matter of them choosing to use inferior steel in their choice for the kit, not the fact that its made in China that's the problem.
Not a chance can you double your power at 8psi. If you have an extremely efficient intercooler and plenty of octane, you 'might' be able to double the power with 15psi. Sorry, but it is based on airflow. Naturally aspirated, you are sucking in the 14.7psi of atmosheric pressure. Unless you make airflow improvements, you'll need 14.7psi ABOVE atmosheric to double the power, and that's with an amazing intercooler and plenty of octane.Q-What power can I expect from the kit?
A- Your car stock should make around 220 wheel horsepower. So the nice thing about a turbocharged application, you can run your choice of boost. The kit at ~8psi( +/- 1psi) will be enough to put you over 400 rear wheel horsepower and nearly double the stock 4.6 power.

Turbos really do make high numbers with low boost because they are efficient. Guys on here were making about 400rwhp with 5 PSI turbo setups.
BTW You dont have 15PSI differential pressure from the air filter to motor. Atmosphere is 15 PSI above perfect vacuum, your engine doesnt pull anything like that strong a vacuum, so your differential pressure is very much lower than 15PSI.
